Arsenal defender David Luiz opens door for Brazil move

Arsenal defender David Luiz could be planning a quick exit from the club.

The Brazilian central defender joined in the summer from Chelsea to help shore up the team's rearguard.

While he is a regular in the starting lineup, many fans are unimpressed with his displays.

For his part, Luiz does not have any plans to return to Brazil or move to another club in the near future.

"I, today, have no such plan. I don't have that as a goal. But we never know, football goes very fast," David Luiz told ESPN Brasil.

"What makes me happy is to see the quality of Brazilian football. You see Jorge Jesus with Flamengo, and the great players like Felipe, Rafinha, Gerson, Gabigol, who's back shining as he always shone at first at Santos.

"Then you see Renato's Grêmio, who have been playing great football for many years.

"So without a doubt, I'm happy for our football. I am glad about the ever-growing quality. I'm sincere to say that today I don't have this idea.

"I have a two-year contract with Arsenal. I have my ambitions and goals here with Arsenal, so I came here. But we never know in the future."
